GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

From my experience I can say that our band program is extremely extraordinary! Along side teachers who genuinely want to help and other faculty! St. Martin is truly a great school and I have had no problems while attending!

I have not been back to my old high school in a while. But while I was there the school was always trying to update something for example they renovated the old football facility and made it look brand new. The year after I graduated they added a new sport in wrestling for both men and women competition and have done good in state tournament since they have added that sport. While I was there I had some very nice teachers that I would talk to and see regularly which made being at school more enjoyable. One of those was my freshman English teacher who left St. Martin two years ago and one of the baseball coaches who would always talk to me even though I was not on the team and decided to pursue other sports. I remember being on good terms with one of the vice principals and librarians who were both trying to push me to be my best.

With Holland as our principle, the school feels more melancholy. She keeps preaching about how many privileges us students have, yet she keeps taking stuff away from us. Two years ago, we had break time everyday, but now, that moment of relaxation has been stripped away because several people are al...
